Have you heard anything lately about any plans to release:
the 1962 Pontiac Bonneville and/or the 1962 Buick Electra 225, two great models unreleased upto now that I have included in my want lists for many long years?

Great subjects, but a year earlier was the svelt 'bubble top' available that one year.

Sorry, can't figure what you mean when refering to 'bubble gum'
The only American 60's I really I really care for are the 1962 Buick Electra 225 and the 1962 Pontiac Bonneville. Can't understand that no one has made either one upto now!

Not bubble gum, bubble TOP which seemed to be the popular name for the coupe roof on GM's '61 cars with its curved shape, slim pillars and big back window.

I'd rather have a model of a '61 Pontiac than a '62, nicer grille, I thought - and that nice roof.

Mind you, I liked the roof on the 4 door sedan as well, crisp and formal but not too heavy. A nice styling year all round for GM
